The evolution of NTBF tenants on Taguspark - 1998 to 2002 perspective

Taguspark is a privileged synergetic environment where tenants interact and can create partnerships, integrating in the innovation chain and being more competitive. Tenants dynamics were analysed in 1998, when the parks model was incomplete there were no higher education institutes located on site. Since then, HEIs and the parks services have started operating on site, thus completing the parks model.This paper re-evaluates NTBF1 dynamics in Taguspark, finding the main changes in company morphology, their interaction in the park and the main implications of HEI2 proximity to their activities. It is done by a qualitative analysis of the situation, mapping the tenants dynamics evolution and drawing some conclusions within the Science & Technology Park concept.
